Lot 2818
A Lot of Seven Medical or Medicinal, or Cosmetic Implements in Bronze. Roman, 2nd-5th century AD. The group comprises a varied assortment of shapes. One certainly a cosmetic applicator -- long and simple, with ovate-shaped end at one side, the other end decorated with circular ribbed ornament. In addition there are four spoons with probe/applicator ends. The spoon's bowls each of different size or shape, along with three having molded decoration on the handle. Another item has a rather arrowhead-like end that may have been a form of lancet or scalpel -- if so, unused, as the blade has not been sharpened. The last an applicator/spatula, the blade end ornately shaped. All well preserved, with varying brown or green patinas. Lengths: 4-3/4" - 6-3/4". An pleasing assortment.
Estimated Value $650 - 850.
